Lying for a Good Cause: Wholesome Secrets People Keep from Their Loved Ones

One time when I was a kid, I made cookies with a friend during a sleepover, and we brought a plate of them over to her sister. We were so proud of ourselves for baking those cookies and so embarrassed when we got back to my house and realized we had forgotten to add butter to the cookies.

So I totally sympathize with the grandma in this story and totally understand why she would insist that her grandson keep her tuna-less tuna casserole a secret. I think it’s cute that a silly story has become a heartwarming memory now that his grandmother is gone.
